Hi - We have yum configured for a local update tree, including our own repository which we rebuild with "createrepo dirname". It seems that yum is ignoring any updates which are put into this repository. This is with yum 2.4.2 on Scientific Linux, which is a RHEL clone. If I do: [root@xpc17 yum.repos.d]# yum -d3 update Loading "kernel-module" plugin Yum Version: 2.4.2 COMMAND: yum -d3 Installroot: / Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories Baseurl(s) for repo: ['file:///data/soft3/scratch/kickstart/SL/43/x86_64/errata/fastbug/RPMS/'] Baseurl(s) for repo: ['file:///data/soft3/scratch/kickstart/SL/43/i386/errata/fastbug/RPMS/'] Baseurl(s) for repo: ['file:///data/soft3/scratch/kickstart/SL/43/x86_64/SL/RPMS/'] Baseurl(s) for repo: ['file:///data/soft3/scratch/kickstart/SL/43/i386/errata/SL/RPMS'] Baseurl(s) for repo: ['file:///data/soft3/scratch/kickstart/SL/43/i386/SL/RPMS/'] Baseurl(s) for repo: ['file:///data/soft3/kickstart/sl-43_own_rpms'] Baseurl(s) for repo: ['file:///data/soft3/scratch/kickstart/SL/43/x86_64/errata/SL/RPMS'] Reading repository metadata in from local files Setting up Package Sacks Excluding Incompatible Archs Finished Reading Local RPMDB Building updates object No Packages marked for Update/Obsoletion The directory it isn't seeing updates on is /data/soft3/kickstart/sl-43_own_rpms. If you do a "yum clean all", then a "yum update" then everything works. Any ideas? Thanks Jeremy more details: [root@xpc17 yum.repos.d]# ls -l /data/soft3/kickstart/sl-43_own_rpms/repodata/ total 268 -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 80889 Jun 6 15:26 filelists.xml.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 136516 Jun 6 15:26 other.xml.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 39517 Jun 6 15:26 primary.xml.gz -rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 951 Jun 6 15:26 repomd.xml [root@xpc17 yum.repos.d]# yum clean all Loading "kernel-module" plugin Cleaning up Everything 1 headers removed 0 packages removed 28 metadata files removed 0 cache files removed 14 cache files removed [root@xpc17 yum.repos.d]# yum update Loading "kernel-module" plugin Setting up Update Process Setting up repositories sl-fastbug 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 sl-fastbug-i386 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 sl-base 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 sl-errata-i386 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 sl-base-i386 100% |=========================| 1.1 kB 00:00 own_rpms 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 sl-errata 100% |=========================| 951 B 00:00 Reading repository metadata in from local files primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 12 kB 00:00 sl-fastbug: ################################################## 31/31 Added 31 new packages, deleted 0 old in 0.10 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 12 kB 00:00 sl-fastbug: ################################################## 29/29 Added 29 new packages, deleted 0 old in 0.08 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 683 kB 00:00 sl-base : ################################################## 1775/1775 Added 1775 new packages, deleted 0 old in 4.61 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 15 kB 00:00 sl-errata-: ################################################## 49/49 Added 49 new packages, deleted 0 old in 0.12 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 521 kB 00:00 sl-base-i3: ################################################## 1570/1570 Added 1570 new packages, deleted 0 old in 4.12 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 39 kB 00:00 own_rpms : ################################################## 137/137 Added 137 new packages, deleted 0 old in 0.32 seconds primary.xml.gz 100% |=========================| 14 kB 00:00 sl-errata : ################################################## 46/46 Added 46 new packages, deleted 0 old in 0.13 seconds Resolving Dependencies --> Populating transaction set with selected packages.
